Junk Food and Saying NO!
Ya know I just realized that we have tons of junk in our house. Before Easter I bought a bad of Nestle Chocolate Variety Eggs at Costco, half went to the church and half went into the candy dish. Back in January I ordered 7 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, they just came in and so they are sitting in my cabinet. The kids still have Easter candy from their baskets. So there is all this junk food sitting around and I have not even been tempted once by it. I always look at the sugar content in everything now and I break it down in my head ok 3 Thin Mint cookies are 13grams of suagr so if I had 1 it would only be like 4.3grams of sugar, still under my limit but I do not want to get my body accustomed to sugars again, at least not right now. I am totally enjoying being sugar free. Yesterday at the bakery I looked at all the yummy looking pasteries and was not even tempted by any of them except one, A Spinach and Feta Cheese Croissant, it really looked yummy, but not knowing how it would settle in my tummy is enough for me to pass anything, even things in my past I have super loved. I made the kiddos their Cinnamon French Toast today with the fresh Cinnamon Bread I bought them yesterday and I had my hard boiled egg for breakfast. Saying no and seeing some peoples face is priceless, or going out to eat somewhere and only being able to eat a couple bites and the waiter/ess asks if everything was ok because I left so much. It really is a goood feeling. I have started losing again I am down another 1 1/2lbs since day before yesterday. I have found out that the more fluids I take in the better I feel and the more weight I seem to lose, but I also have to eat so it is still a bit tricky, but it works.
